-Microdosing Mushrooms
Microdosing refers to the practice of taking a very small dose of a psychedelic. In fact, the dose is so small that no psychedelic effects occur. This is also known as a sub-perceptual dose. This means that when you microdose, you don’t experience changes in perception, such as visual or auditory effects.
But you may experience some alterations in:
*Mood
*Thinking
*Concentration
*Energy levels
A microdose shouldn’t affect your day-to-day activities, such as work and socializing with others.
A microdose is 0.1-0.2g.
-Low Mushroom Dosage
A low magic mushroom dosage is a dose where you can start to feel some psychedelic effects.
There is no exact ‘point’ at which a microdose becomes a low dose, but there are some signs that distinguish the two. If you take a low mushroom dosage, you may experience:
*Slight changes in visual perception, such as colours appearing enhanced
*A slight body high
*A giddy feeling
*Feeling a bit euphoric or anxious
Doses do vary between mushroom species, based on potency. However, a low dose of magic mushrooms is generally 0.25-1 gram.
-Moderate Mushroom Dosage
When you take a moderate dose of magic mushrooms, there will be more intense psychedelic effects, such as:
*More noticeable enhancement of colours
*Visual distortions, such as objects morphing or ‘breathing’
*Seeing geometric patterns
*Synesthesia or ‘crossing of the senses’ (e.g. ‘hearing colours’ or ‘seeing sounds’)
*Increased appreciation of music
*Laughter
*Noticeable body high
*Changes to tactile sensations
*Introspection
*Euphoria
*Feelings of gratitude
*Confusion, paranoia, fear, or anxiety
*Time dilation (e.g. minutes feeling like hours)
*A moderate magic mushroom dosage is around 1 to 3 grams.
-High Mushroom Dosage
When you take a high dose of magic mushrooms, you can expect intense effects, with major changes to your thoughts, cognition, perception, and mood. You may experience the effects of a moderate dose (at a greater intensity), as well as:
*Visual and auditory hallucinations
*Visions – a kind of waking dream state
*Profound insights
*A feeling of dissociation from your body
*The feeling of a ‘divine presence’
*The possibility of ‘ego death’, where you lose your sense of self-identity
A high dose of magic mushrooms is 3 to 4 grams.
-The ‘Heroic Dose’
A ‘heroic dose’ of magic mushrooms provides a different kind of experience compared to the other mushroom dosages described. It’s at this dose that you can expect to have a mystical experience, which may include:
*A sense of interconnectedness or oneness (the feeling of being everything)
*Strong likelihood of ego dissolution
*The feeling of gaining hidden knowledge
*Communication with beings and entities
*Ineffability (being unable to accurately describe the experience)
*Timelessness, existing for eternity or an eternal present.
*The feeling of being in an infinite void
A heroic magic mushroom dose is 4 or more grams. The famous psychonaut and lecturer Terence McKenna described a heroic dose of mushrooms as 5 grams, but people have been known to take higher amounts than this.
As people have varying sensitivities to psychedelics, the dosages outlined here will affect everyone in a different way.
Heroic doses should only be taken with an experienced guide in a controlled environment, such as at a mushroom ceremony or retreat.
